We are four humble men who love sports, but hate sports commentary. Peter Gammons is our hero and John Madden is our enemy. If you were to ask us our purpose, our answer would be simple: "We are forever locked in Mortal Kombat for the souls of sports fans everywhere. Statistics are our science and 'the immeasurable character of men' is the obsolete religion of blind faith. Our job is to prove that God doesn't exist and that athletes are merely cold, metal machines with no hearts or souls."

If player P produces X and costs Y, where as replacement player R produces T, where T<X, but costs U, where U<Y, then its only a GET RID OF HIM sunk cost if you can get salary relief and comparable production. Otherwise it's just a silly expense you should endure.
